Exercise in Pediatric COVID-19: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In this randomized controlled trial, a 12-wk HBET intervention did not impact HRQOL in pediatric COVID-19 patients. However, exercise was able to improve the V̇O 2 at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold, heart rate peak and 1-min recovery, ventilation-to-maximum voluntary ventilation ratio, and chronotropic response, with no changes observed in other cardiovascular parameters. Further studies are needed to investigate the long-term effects of exercise interventions on the recovery of pediatric COVID-19 patients with and without preexisting chronic conditions.
